Brindle Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hi, I run a Tikka T3 in .243 win reloading 75gn vmax for fox and 95gn ballistic tip for deer. When I started a friend said use Varget for both, rather than two different powders..everything seems to work, but, I have been told by others that there are better powders out there which will increase speed and could improve accuracy. Rather than spend 70 quid on a software program to work it out for my only centrefire could any of you other reloaders out there run it through your software and advise me what I should be using. Rifle details are...243win, barrel length 22.44inches (570mm), twist 1:10. Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbear Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I use H414 over magnum primers in my Sako 75 to great effect, I will post my loads for you if interested. Cheers GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Not a lot wrong with Varget, it is high up on velocity and is less temperature sensitive than some of the other powders, the overall pressure is ok too. Why do you use magnum primers GB? Redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbear Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was given the load by a close friend of mine whom I compained to when my .300 suffered hangfire with H414, He recomended the use of the mag primer even in the .243, it shoots so well in my rifle I really do not want to change it. A type of it aint broke so I'm not going to fix it. Cheers GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
